And talk of Bodene Thompson at prop from Agar is a joke, as well a big concern.
I actually think he's a decent signing - he's mobile and puts in a shift in D.
But he is not the intimidating prop we need.
This has got to be a last resort surely.
Like everyone else, I hope Walters gets more minutes this season.
He's got some size - could see him developing from back row to prop as he matures, like JP and Moz did. Let's hope....
Agree with this. I reckon we could play Bodene or Martin at LF at times leaving Prior to play prop. Where my hives go into overdrive is when I hear Agar say Donaldson can fill in at prop.
We need a 4th prop leaving Holroyd to be prop 5 then with bit of luck with injuries we might get away with Bodene and Martin filling in at 13 at times, along with Smith from the bench.
With Gale missing the start of the season, wonder if we may bring in the maestro Tony Clubb, to provide both size and an entertaining off the cuff kicking game.
The squad overall looks quite thin to me but other sides like Wigan are slimming down their numbers as well. On the positive side it will mean some of the young players will get more game like Walters, Holroyd etc.
